Video: Companies have little to show for their mobile tech lawsuits, but don't expect them to slow down anytime soon

It seems as if not a month goes by without headlines about Company A suing Company B over a mobile patent or even mobile device design. But plaintiffs in these lawsuits rarely get judgments in their favor, Apple's aforementioned win over Samsung being the notable exception.

Beyond that, companies have learned to use patent litigation as a business weapon, hoping to win an injunction against a rival to delay a product from coming to market and giving the litigant a head start. As this Wall Street Journal report points out, these tactics will be around for the foreseeable future -- we may as well get used to them.
